My first day of Roux. You can tell from the solve that I'm a Nouxb but I have cubed enough to know how to blockbuild. In roux, it's a bit bad. i accidentally the 2nd block.

I see that I have 8 bad edges. Whenever I get 8 bad edges, I setup the 4 good edges at UL, UR, DF, and DB.
M' U2 Rw' F B' D' R D (EOline)
In a speedsolve, I wouldn't have seen the last 3 moves of that solution solving the green edge.

As I was looking ahead, I saw that the red cross edge was going to end up in a nice place, so I'm just going to start by solving that.

A more efficient way to start F2L after your EOLine would be to solve the red white green block without messing up the already made red blue white pair.

Try doing the right block with U' R' U' R' U R' (leaving the slot open for the other pair) L U2 R'

Solving cross edges usually is not the best strategy for ZZ, especially 2H. Try to find more efficient ways whenever possible.

I'm somewhat new to Roux, still learning lots. I can't say that I'm proud of my move count on the blocks there, but L4E skip


Bonus: Accidental RouxFOP solve

So it's technically not Roux, but if it were, it'd be my PB Roux time lol.
